Khanna: Voter suppression alert

I commented the following on Khanna's FB page when he posted the meme below. Of course I don't expect a reply.

The only way to stop this fascist takeover of our democracy is to pass HR 1 in the Senate. And the only way to pass it in the Senate is to totally eliminate the filibuster. No, not bring back the talking filibuster or any other half measure. The filibuster itself has always been about the fascist control of the people and nothing more. There is no legitimate excuse to maintain it in any form.

So the question then becomes: Are the progressives willing to take a stand on eliminating it altogether and do whatever it takes to get it done? Including voting down legislation and forcing Democratic opponents to face the consequences? If we don't get this Bill passed then the fascist Republican takeover of government will go unchecked. And if we don't eliminate the filibuster then it is tantamount to being complicit in that takeover. No excuses. Get it done.
